Inky plum in colour you can see this is rich and textured even before going anywhere near the nose which then displays ripe fruit. Gorgeous quality a wine that is packed full of graphite pencil lead waves of violet cassis liqourice and chewy but well defined tannins. Leaps out of the glass and is clear proof that when it gets it right the 2014 vintage equals the 2015 in this northern sector of the Médoc. Good value also compared to the 2015 and 2016 - a must buy for me. 70% new oak Eric Boissenot consultant.

Aromas of currants blackberries and blackcurrants with hints of chocolate and spices. Full body firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Juicy and muscular wine. Needs three or four years to open. Beautiful.

Fragrant and perfumed this wine is the epitome of great Cabernet Sauvignon. It is fruity juicy yet with serious concentrated tannins. There is spice from the wood aging along with a dash of pepper all the while just bringing out the beautiful black-currant flavors. Drink this wine from 2024

The 2014 Lynch-Bages is full of promise offering up a classic bouquet of rich but vibrant blackcurrant fruit mingled with with hints of loamy soil cedar and vanilla pod. Full-bodied deep and layered with an abundance of ripe but youthfully assertive tannin lively acids and a long resonant finish it will hit its stride in 10 to 15 years. This is an excellent Lynch-Bages that represents especially good value in the contemporary marketplace.

"The 2014 Lynch-Bages is just as powerful and dense from bottle as it was from barrel. Deep powerful and bold it possesses remarkable richness in all of its dimensions. Ripe red cherry spice leather tobacco and rose petal all develop in the glass but it is the wine's sheer amplitude today that is quite remarkable. It will need quite a bit of cellaring to be at its best and is clearly built to age. This is a terrific showing from the Cazes family. The blend is 69 % Cabernet Sauvignon 26 % Merlot 3 % Cabernet Franc and 2 % Petit Verdot."

This has beguiling hints of plum cake and melted licorice peeking out while a core of cassis and blackberry confiture waits in reserve. There's ample grip but this remains very polished and integrated with lovely echoes of anise and fruitcake showing through the very lengthy finish. Will be hard to keep your hands off this while it ages. Best from 2019 through 2035
